- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
23 of 43 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 49 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 45). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.71 per match at 29.6, economy 4.35, strike rate 40.9.
